Republican congressman calls out Marjorie Taylor Greene for 'outrageous' claim about controlling the weather:

'It's ridiculous'

Less than a week after Hurricane Helene swept through the southern Appalachians, bringing catastrophic damage to particularly hard-hit Asheville, a republican representative said "they" can control the weather, seemingly referencing their political rivals.

A fellow Republican, Florida representative Carlos A. Gimenez has refuted his colleague.

What's happening?
Florida representative Gimenez's home state is dealing with one of the worst hurricanes in its history. Around 11 million Floridians were at risk of flash and river flooding, according to NBC News, as Milton swept into the central part of the state.

Gimenez still took the time to call out a conspiracy theory regarding another hurricane that struck his state just a couple of weeks ago. Hurricane Helene killed at least 227 people on its track through Florida's Big Bend region, Georgia, the Carolinas, and portions of the Tennessee Valley region.
